Right now, this moment is the most "Dad of War" moment in the game. Kratos seems to forget, his lethal, half god (or what you ) comrade in arms is actually....still a child. Thoughts?
Imagine how much it would suck if Faye's ashes stuck to Kratos after they cremated her in the beginning. The Oracles curse would be stronger than we thought.
I love how realistic the childhood is depicted in this scene. You, a pre teen child, were just told you are a GOD of course you are going to be a brat and need a reality check, most adults would actually.
@@ShivamPatel-yq7rr I wouldn't describe Loki as evil per say. Rather, I think the correct term is... chaotic, mischievous, unpredictable. Those types of things.
@@ShivamPatel-yq7rr not necessarily, Loki is evil in Norse mythology but this doesn’t follow Norse mythology super closely, at least not by sides. The giants are almost all evil yet in this they’re the good guys. Thor, while brash and a heavy drinker is always shown as the good guy and here is one of the worst of the worst
Atreus: Father, did you know anyone before mom? Kratos: There was one woman I, Aphrodite was her name. There was button mashing and full circles in ways that you couldn’t fathom, boy.... Atreus: What..? Kratos: Never mind..
Atreus's real name is LOKI. Through out the game he always says "I wanna be a wolf" and World Serpent said "he's familiar to me", so you realize there is no Fenrir in this game, Odin will die 'cause of Fenrir. Atreus will shapeshift into Fenrir to avenge Kratos (last escene before they go out the room).
Actually, Fenrir will probably still be Loki/Atreus' son and may make it into the future games. Jörmungandr, the World Serpent, said that he was familiar to him. And if you recall, Mimir said that the World Serpent was flung back in time. So Jörmungandr is practically seeing his father's younger self. The only issue is we don't know if Kratos will come back since we saw in the finale of the game that there was a painting of him dying in Atreus' embrace.
Inneunde Jormungadr:(Dad,is that you?) Atreus:Mimir,what's he saying? Mimir:That's yer future son Kratos:MY GRANDSON IS A GIANT SNAKE?! Mimir:You also have a wolf grandson that eats Odin,oh and a goddess of death granddaughter. Kratos:That last one makes sense. Extra: Kratos:WAIT A MINUTE,WHO THE HEL DOES MY SON BANG FOR A SNAKE,A WOLF,AND A GODDESS OF DEATH TO POP OUT?
I love how Kratos is so understanding and patient with the boy. When he brought up being able to turn into an animal again for the last time, he didn't get upset with him being "ridiculous", he simply welcomed the challenge to be proven wrong and letting the child be a child.
You guys do not understand the meaning of this scene. Kratos tells that he is a god with fear and disgust, because he hates the fact of being a god. And this deep trauma against himself makes him be anxious about what reaction atrues will have, since he didn't want to tell him for so long and was hiding it from Atreus all he could. When he heard question about turning into animal it was just totally not what he expected, so it takes him a moment to even understand what Atreus means (can you... turn... into an animal?...)
"Can I, turn into an animal?" Judging by Kratos' reaction, it had a split meaning. That is A, if Atreus can literally turn into a lion, a squirrel, etc. Or B, he becomes a force of murder and destruction hence, an "animal"
2:18 is the first time Kratos has come across the feeling of complete confusion at a kid's weird question that is somehow valid. It's something any parent comes across eventually and will happen numerous other times. Welcome to parenting Dad of War
Kratos IS a god. A full powered God. After killing Ares he was offered the title of God Of War. Along with the title came more godly powers, like the ability to become a giant. When Zeus betrayed and tricked him, his newly achieved godly powers were cast into the sword. However, his title remains with him. There never was anyone who took his place (although Hercules wanted to). As he killed all the other gods, he gained some of their powers, but not all, because he wasn't officially given their title. Their full power was cast, released free onto the world. Now, when he finally defeated Zeus, he used Pandora's box. Pandora's box last treasure was the power of hope. When Kratos suicided, he released all the remaining powers he had gained from the gods he killed, and with no more rulers in the underworld, and the power of hope released from the box, he became a sort of phoenix, resurrecting and starting a new life WITH HOPE for a new beginning.. His title remained though. His warrior nature remains because it is who he is. War is not a physical object like water for Poseidon or Fire for Hepheastus. War is war. A state. A metality and mindset. War is pain, struggle, loss, experience, strategy, brutality and much more... and Kratos is all of them.
@Florian M Zeus was a straight up god since birth and he aged to have a great long white beard and long white hair. Just because Gods are immortal doesn't stop them from aging, they just don't show the weaknesses of age like muscle deterioration (Zeus was still a beefcake).
Only problem is that Sleipnir, in the myths, was conceived during the time when the walls of Asgard are fortified by a Jotnar and his magical stallion.
Next game, Sleipnir travels from the future to beat up Thor and steals Mjolnir. Then Odin becomes parent of the year by having the two fight to the death for the right to wield Mjolnir. Wait a second...
It really amazes me how Kratos never once even shows a tiny bit of what he can actually do being a god... it shows how dedicated he is on trying to live in this realm as a man
+Madbuk101 Yeah, I think there are no demigods in God of War lore (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't remember this concept being talked about in previous games). Notice how he says Atreus is also a God, even though he'd technically be a demigod as well.
Someone get on Bioware's fucking case about how to make good facial animations. Make them study every frame of Kratos' face at 2:17 and see how many emotions are running through his eyes. Instead Mass Effect Andromeda couldn't show emotions with damn color coordinated smiley faces that scream I'M PORTRAYING SADNESS NOW SEE I'M SAD. God this game gets faces, dialogue, combat and nuance so tightly wound it's unreal. This is the bar.
Garde Noir firstly that's cos every second of this was closely motion captured like naughty dog with Uncharted, not procedurally generated by the game to go with the dialogue that bioware recorded Secondly, why the fuck are people suddenly holding standards to bioware's facial animation? IT'S A MASS EFFECT GAME!! They make the same face if u piss on their shoes!
Hah, I loved that one moment too. Here he is, revealing a secret that has weighed on him for the entire time, and his son just lightheartedly asks if it means he can turn into an animal. Kratos' expression may mean several things depending on how you interpret it - to me, he was thinking "I've got a lot to explain." Sad part about Bioware is they used to make some really good stuff, and the original Mass Effect series is still a huge favorite of mine. But Sony's Santa Monica studio set a new bar, foregoing true open world and free roaming for a more controlled but impactful experience.
funny. i do like the change from a giant ball of unthinking mussle and RAGE though. kratos is responsible for the majority of his own suffering by how he responded to the situation around him, this is an older kratos that seems to understand that and is working to make sure his son doesn't follow in his footsteps and i dig it.
Devin Isaacson they were talking about something serious and kratos was obviously waiting to see if the kid had any concerns about the matter and thats what he asked first. That's why i said it was "concern"
Spoiler: Listen at 3:36 "You sure I can't turn into a wolf?" is not there by coincidence. At the end of the game it's revealed that Atreus is actually Loki. According to Norse mythology, Loki is the father of Fenrir the wolf, who is said to kill Odin during Ragnarok.
The real reason why Kratos didnt tell atreus that he was a god, is that he didnt want atreus to experience what kratos did in his childhood, but Kratos was wrong, instead of anger and regret that he would get from his son, what he got was a humour of a peaceful child, "Can I fly? Can I turn into an animal?"
Ro Van 5 min later that peaceful child kills an unarmed god. And he has lack of everything and anyone. Even 5 min later he shoots his own father. Loki is no good boy
Inoticed that too. The wonder and curiosity of a child completely caught him off guard and you could feel the tension fall and turn the a nice father/son moment taking about being awesome.
True, but he is still a child, once he hits the teenage years all bets are off whether that complex will resurface worse than ever or he will actually heed his fathers advice and warning.
The soundtrack when he says : "I'm a God boy, from another land..." that piece of music earns the entire scene specially for the faces of Kratos flashbacking with us into the other 3 games
This was such a bad ass moment. I love when he says, "can i turn into an animal?" And kratos answers him back,in way where he almost seems relieved that it was such a childish response. Amazing.
darcel francis well the giants are weird, not all of them were giants, and some of them were also gods, the aesir and vanir are gods but it seems that it's because they became jottun, so there is a chance atreus is a norse God, but it seems that his mom is not a godly giant, so he probably is just a normal giant
"can i turn into animal?" "can i fly?" "can i become wolf?" that all of he's think is become one of his traits in the future... as a Shapeshifter... as LOKI... LOL
I just adore kratos confusion at the innocence and randomness of that conversation. He’s contemplating what it means to be a god and Atreus is just wondering what cool stuff he can do
Atreus: I don't feel like a god. Kratos: When you get extremely pissed, like a Spartan, and start going on a complete god killing rampage, then you'll feel like a god... killer. That's what I did. And that's probably the only ability you will have. But it's a damn good one. Atreus: ... Kratos: You are quiet again.
Atreus: ... I was just thinking.... What happens during sex? Kratos: wha- what? Sex? Boy. You are not of age Atreus: I know, I just want to be prepare for when that time comes. So I won't disappoint Freya Kratos: ...... Hmm... Sex. As a God, when you have sex, red orbs come out everywhere Atreus: Um... Oh. Ok
Atreus: Dad, will I be extremely powerful when I learn how to use my god powers? Kratos: Yes, boy... For about an hour. Then you will either be dropped off a cliff or forced to use a sword that will drain most, if not all, of your life essence and magical abilities, forcing you to start from scratch and find dozens of eyeballs and feathers to become powerful again. This will happen approximately 2 times. Atreus: ... Why?
Aterus: I don't have any experience in having sex Kratos: Dont worry boi, you will be given button combos to guide you. My favurite one is triangle, square, then vigorously shake the analogue to finish them off Aterus: ........ Kratos: too much??
I'm just glad that Atreus took it so well. I was a little worried at first, but as soon as I heard him ask, "Can I turn into an animal?" I smiled on the inside. I have a feeling Kratos did too.
Lymar Costanilla Atreus: You were god of what? Kratos: God of War Atreus: Now everything makes sense Atreus: But I also should be called the god of Death for the 4th times I die and came back.
Oh my god for the first time Kratos bring down the barriers in his father son bonding🤣 playing god of war since the first game never thought Kratos would ever be like this
I love the look on Kratos' face when Aterus asks if he can turn into it an animal because the look is legitimately "I don't actually know I've never tried."
@@DarsiPadilla DLC =/= Microtransaction Witcher III has DLC and no one is moaning... Microtransactions or greedy DLC policy(looking at you Train Simulator) is a different thing than 1 or 2 story DLC
Golden1_1Dragon his been fucked by gods and man like an overused needle in a drug house, its pretty understandable why he distrust others, that is not cringey at all Though his not as bad as in the previous installments, having a family might have chill his ass a bit
Well his behaviour does become abit weird. He does a complete 180 and becomes phycopath and then does a 180 again and goes back to his normal self in like 30 min or so found it abit weird.
The lightning came from the tooth of a dragon rubbed on the bow. As far as I know Atreus is pretty durable for a kid and can jump at a farther distance than a normal person can. Oh also Atreus has spartan rage.
As someone said those came from another source. He didn't show any real powers in the gsme outside of Spartan Rage, strength and durability. But with him being half God and half giant I'm sure he'll have some abilities
Well, big freaking spoilers here, do not say I didn’t warn you: according to mythology the kid will be able to shapeshift and use magic, and of course he is a master trickster,
So hey small detail that I might have missed out son. Yeah ummmmmmm so I'm Kratos the God of War and once I was so pissed I killed everyone on Mount Olympus because I could. Okay let's go champ.
"What a fool you are. I'm a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy."
I love the surprise in his face it’s real subtle but watching his eyes dart around like he expected Atreus to say something negative. What a fantastic game!!
4:42 I mean, we're gods! We can do whatever we want! (Flashbacks to Kratos killing all the other gods and many other mythical creatures in brutal fashion) too soon, Atreus. Too soon.
Jimbro sauce that's not the worries I'd have if I was Kratos, think of the old games and how the gods reacted to their godhood, Hermes the perfect example was full of hubris, then there's the son killing the father curse, Kratos not telling Atreus about the godhood they have was maybe his way of breaking the curse
Just Saying lol that was the main reason my brother and I bought a ps2 when we were younger for god of war and to this day we buy a new Sony system for every new god of war
I wanted to buy one too for Red Dead 2, this game, Horizon and the new Spider Man, but then I heard the PS5 is coming, maybe it has retrocompatibility.
Kratos: “I do not know the reach of your godhood. But over time we will learn.” FAST FOWARD Atreus: “They call me Cuban Pete. I’m the king of the rumba beat.”🎶
I like how Kratos goes, "Can you turn into an animal? Wait... Can I turn into an animal?" It's like he just realized he never really even tried it before.
darcel francis And so is Jorumungandr, the giant snake. So, Atreus here isn't THAT Loki. On the other hand, "Loki" is a popular name for Giants. Several bear the name. The most notable example outside of "trickster god Loki" is Utgard-Loki.
But did you guys actually remember that the World Serpent said that Atreus (also now known as Loki) was familiar? And that he (Jörmungandr) was flung back in time. It all makes sense.

this game should title meme of war
Tim Dinh 😂😂😂😂
I love that his first concern was if he can turn into an animal hahaha
Devin Isaacson they were talking about something serious and kratos was obviously waiting to see if the kid had any concerns about the matter and thats what he asked first. That's why i said it was "concern"
Well its his inner greek god coming to light
Edward Pimentel as per legend loki can turn into a wolf. Hence the significance
Well, Zeus could turn into animals and fucked a lot of people hahahah!!!
OneShallStandOneShallFall makes me wonder if he was into bestiality lol
The acting here is impeccable, the way Kratos says "i do not think so" conveys such a mixture of relief, disbelief, amusement, and fatigue
Spoiler:
Listen at 3:36
"You sure I can't turn into a wolf?" is not there by coincidence. At the end of the game it's revealed that Atreus is actually Loki. According to Norse mythology, Loki is the father of Fenrir the wolf, who is said to kill Odin during Ragnarok.
Why are you here if you dont want spoilers?
Nice
Was thinking the same too. Either he adopts a wolf pup in the next installment and it grows up to be Fenrir or Atreus shape-shifts into the wolf.
You piece of shit.
I came here for funny comments not a spoiler of the end of the game by some cunt.
JackDagnaIs the title of this video is itself a spoiler. You knew what you were getting in to.
This kid really sounds like Aang From avatar seriously he does
Derrick Sturdivant damn you’re right
Its because they are the same voice actor lmaooo yall crazy for not knowing
Jordan Brech No they’re not the person that played Aang Is in his 20s there’s no way he could have the same voice
Derrick Sturdivant nigga that voice actor was prolly in his 20s when he voiced bim. a lot of voice actors can change there voice no matter age
Goddamn it you’re correct lmao he does sound like Ang!!!!
The real reason why Kratos didnt tell atreus that he was a god, is that he didnt want atreus to experience what kratos did in his childhood, but Kratos was wrong, instead of anger and regret that he would get from his son, what he got was a humour of a peaceful child, "Can I fly? Can I turn into an animal?"
Ro Van 5 min later that peaceful child kills an unarmed god. And he has lack of everything and anyone. Even 5 min later he shoots his own father. Loki is no good boy
Inoticed that too. The wonder and curiosity of a child completely caught him off guard and you could feel the tension fall and turn the a nice father/son moment taking about being awesome.
Atreus quickly afterwards developed a brief God complex. He was falling into the kind of arrogance the Olympians had.
Jericho Strayker but after they escaped from helheim loki loses his god complex and returned to being nice
True, but he is still a child, once he hits the teenage years all bets are off whether that complex will resurface worse than ever or he will actually heed his fathers advice and warning.
how the hell is Kratos a better father than goku?
King Kenji Kratos is around.
Kratos shows up
King Kenji the green alien that wanted to kill humans did a better job of raising his first son
Kratos is considerate enough to not die in front of his children multiple times.
Jian Ouyang Untrue 😂
This is how it happened this is how atreus became a prick
I think he was drunk too...
@@edmardisla8492 same, that Greek wine is no joke
@@edmardisla8492 especially cause he's tiny and like 11 🤣
The soundtrack when he says : "I'm a God boy, from another land..." that piece of music earns the entire scene specially for the faces of Kratos flashbacking with us into the other 3 games
Kratos: I'm a god boy.
Ya god damn right you are.
This was such a bad ass moment. I love when he says, "can i turn into an animal?" And kratos answers him back,in way where he almost seems relieved that it was such a childish response. Amazing.
Will, Loki is a Half-God, Half-Man and a another Half-Giant.
Which makes him 25% Man, 25% Greek God 50% Norse Giant.
Haxy Go Giant, he's part giant
No
:|
darcel francis well the giants are weird, not all of them were giants, and some of them were also gods, the aesir and vanir are gods but it seems that it's because they became jottun, so there is a chance atreus is a norse God, but it seems that his mom is not a godly giant, so he probably is just a normal giant
You realize you just said 3 halves right?
Kratos: *Drops god reveal*
Atreus: ...Can I turn into an animal?
Kratos: Can you..."turn into an animal?"
*Seinfeld theme plays*
No, no i do not think so
"I am a God boy" that's gotta be the greatest quote you'll ever hear any video game character say. Whoever did the VA for Kratos really nailed it.
Kratos be all like "Oh, he's turning into a furry. Woe is me!"
Atreus:whats you godly power father?
Kratos:strength of 10 men...and anger issues.
Mini Panini 10? You mean 10000 man
*boi*
"can i turn into animal?"
"can i fly?"
"can i become wolf?"
that all of he's think is become one of his traits in the future...
as a Shapeshifter... as LOKI...
LOL
"can I become a wolf"......huehuehue think about Loki's son, Fenrir..
Nematoda Rine Fenrir and the World Snake but Hela is a Human but no mortal
I just adore kratos confusion at the innocence and randomness of that conversation. He’s contemplating what it means to be a god and Atreus is just wondering what cool stuff he can do
I love how Kratos' fears about Atreus learning of his heritage seem subverted here, but they are realised in a different way as the story progresses.
Atreus: I don't feel like a god.
Kratos: When you get extremely pissed, like a Spartan, and start going on a complete god killing rampage, then you'll feel like a god... killer. That's what I did. And that's probably the only ability you will have. But it's a damn good one.
Atreus: ...
Kratos: You are quiet again.
Atreus: ... I was just thinking.... What happens during sex?
Kratos: wha- what? Sex? Boy. You are not of age
Atreus: I know, I just want to be prepare for when that time comes. So I won't disappoint Freya
Kratos: ...... Hmm... Sex. As a God, when you have sex, red orbs come out everywhere
Atreus: Um... Oh. Ok
Atreus: Dad, will I be extremely powerful when I learn how to use my god powers?
Kratos: Yes, boy... For about an hour. Then you will either be dropped off a cliff or forced to use a sword that will drain most, if not all, of your life essence and magical abilities, forcing you to start from scratch and find dozens of eyeballs and feathers to become powerful again. This will happen approximately 2 times.
Atreus: ... Why?
D P was reading this in Kratos voice and the BOI voice lol
Aterus: I don't have any experience in having sex
Kratos: Dont worry boi, you will be given button combos to guide you. My favurite one is triangle, square, then vigorously shake the analogue to finish them off
Aterus: ........
Kratos: too much??
Kratos: dont worry BOI i have someone who well be your sex tutor.
Atreus: Who?
Aphrodite: I am.
I'm just glad that Atreus took it so well. I was a little worried at first, but as soon as I heard him ask, "Can I turn into an animal?" I smiled on the inside. I have a feeling Kratos did too.
Wheather a man, God, or Demi God... one thing is for sure. Kratos is a badass
HIT(X)MARK
Damn fucking straight
Whether*
Regardless you are correct !
This is a really big turning point in the game. After this scene, I noticed that Kratos spoke differently to his son- softer, more encouraging.
2:05 the fact that Kratos didn’t overreact to the silly question shows growth on his part
1st thing he ask "can i turn into an animal ?" Forshadowing the ending. If any know ending
Dylan R
It's funny, because he's actually can do this in the Norse mythology :D
I think almost all norse gods except Thor can shapeshift. some have fixed forms some don't
raynaldo arlen k.eman
See Sleipnir myth ;)
Dante McFarlane what makes it even funnier is Kratos's reaction to the question. He's like:
"Ok, what now?"😂
then he turns into a rat
DAD OF WAR 4
Lymar Costanilla Atreus: You were god of what?
Kratos: God of War
Atreus: Now everything makes sense
Atreus: But I also should be called the god of Death for the 4th times I die and came back.
Oh my god for the first time Kratos bring down the barriers in his father son bonding🤣 playing god of war since the first game never thought Kratos would ever be like this
Kaio Ushigami He did have a bit of soft spot for Pandora. And also his old family.
um pretty sure Kratos loved his daughter...
TheHarmony didnt mean people thought at the end of his murder spree he was going to have a kid again.
Boy.
*B O I*
I love the look on Kratos' face when Aterus asks if he can turn into it an animal because the look is legitimately "I don't actually know I've never tried."
2:40 LMAO great......now he's going to start acting like Kanye
Ares Am I Yeezus 😂😂
"yall should stop playin wif god"
Atreus, I'm happy for you and imma let you finish but Aphrodite was the greatest goddess of all time. Of all time
Stephen Strange yooo I'm fucking dead 😂😂
lmao
“Can I turn into an animal.” The foreshadowing is crazy
Atreus : Can I turn into an animal?
Me : I wonder if they're gonna include him birthing Slepnir in a DLC...
No microtransactions.
@@DarsiPadilla DLC =/= Microtransaction
Witcher III has DLC and no one is moaning...
Microtransactions or greedy DLC policy(looking at you Train Simulator) is a different thing than 1 or 2 story DLC
@@floppydisksareop No DLC is confirmed; and the rest will be for the sequel.
@@DarsiPadilla Oh, I thought you were just going on about how microtransactions and DLCs are bad. My bad, sorry.
The way kratos reveals himself...no wonder atreus attitude became somewhat cringey. I like how he reacts tho.
Golden1_1Dragon it's not Cringe. Try frustration, surprised, angery, annoyed? You do human right?
The WindyREDPanda he was rude to one of the dwarves.
Cringey as in reminder of something you done before n you know know it was wrong
Golden1_1Dragon his been fucked by gods and man like an overused needle in a drug house, its pretty understandable why he distrust others, that is not cringey at all
Though his not as bad as in the previous installments, having a family might have chill his ass a bit
Why would you cringe he’s a child and that’s a pretty normal response
Well his behaviour does become abit weird. He does a complete 180 and becomes phycopath and then does a 180 again and goes back to his normal self in like 30 min or so found it abit weird.
Atreus gift is the ligthing bolts from his bow and arrows
Zhengkang Vijaya could be
The lightning came from the tooth of a dragon rubbed on the bow. As far as I know Atreus is pretty durable for a kid and can jump at a farther distance than a normal person can. Oh also Atreus has spartan rage.
As someone said those came from another source. He didn't show any real powers in the gsme outside of Spartan Rage, strength and durability. But with him being half God and half giant I'm sure he'll have some abilities
Well, big freaking spoilers here, do not say I didn’t warn you: according to mythology the kid will be able to shapeshift and use magic, and of course he is a master trickster,
He's fucking loki
So hey small detail that I might have missed out son. Yeah ummmmmmm so I'm Kratos the God of War and once I was so pissed I killed everyone on Mount Olympus because I could. Okay let's go champ.
and nearly kill humanity

Drinking Game Rules:
Whilst playing the full game.
1 x shot per "BOY" (any character)
Ye gods, imagine that poor liver banged up. =/
"What a fool you are. I'm a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy."
i like your obscure reference, my dude
Where is this line from
TheGingerDragon N'wah
TheGingerDragon
“I’m a god. How can you kill a god?”
Died by falling off a bridge XD
Dagoth Ur is awesome, but his death is so anticlimactic
I love the surprise in his face it’s real subtle but watching his eyes dart around like he expected Atreus to say something negative. What a fantastic game!!
Title: God of War - Kratos Reveals to Boy He's a God
“You sure I can’t turn into a wolf?” Oh boy, just wait.
The way the game camera focuses on Atreus and back to Keaton’s in that angle is SO beautiful
"I'm a God what is the most desired thing I would like to do? Hm...." 2:07
I feel like atreus is actually a furry
God of Furries
+Nguyen anh minh
He was fucked by a horse, and gave birth to a horse.
@@Beerbottles123 While he was turned into a female horse
So not only is kratos a badass but he's also a good dad. Wow I'm in love with this game
“Can I turn into an animal?”
Greatest tension killer ever!!! 🤣🤣🤣
4:42
I mean, we're gods! We can do whatever we want!
(Flashbacks to Kratos killing all the other gods and many other mythical creatures in brutal fashion) too soon, Atreus. Too soon.
Jimbro sauce that's not the worries I'd have if I was Kratos, think of the old games and how the gods reacted to their godhood, Hermes the perfect example was full of hubris, then there's the son killing the father curse, Kratos not telling Atreus about the godhood they have was maybe his way of breaking the curse
Atreus: Can I turn into an animal?
Me: I see you have your priorities straight...
Atreus: Can I...turn into an animal?
Kratos: Not in this game at least.
*sigh* okay okay...I will buy a PS4 and this game
Just Saying lol that was the main reason my brother and I bought a ps2 when we were younger for god of war and to this day we buy a new Sony system for every new god of war
It’s SOOOO good
I wanted to buy one too for Red Dead 2, this game, Horizon and the new Spider Man, but then I heard the PS5 is coming, maybe it has retrocompatibility.
TheDorianTube they're releasing these systems too fast I swear.
Pick up Bloodborne too while you're at it
doesnt matter how often I watch it, it never gets boring
Kratos: “I do not know the reach of your godhood. But over time we will learn.”
FAST FOWARD
Atreus: “They call me Cuban Pete. I’m the king of the rumba beat.”🎶
wow, love the foreshadowing when Atreus asks Kratos if he can turn into animals. Sick.
"What do you really want to do right now?"
Kratos: *Travels back in time and slaughters the gods again*
I went to muspelheim.
so loki is a shape shifter. imagine the infinite ideas they can do with the story, turn into a wolf ? Ragnarök , i like where this is going
well the trilogy will be ragnarok. a weird one but ragnarok none the less.
Alright can someone explain the whole Atreus/ Loki thing because I'm lost.
Knight Rider his mother named him loki his father named his atreus
apperently astreus is destined to be loki. his mother named him loki. and since ragnarok begins when loki kills baldur by stabbing him with mistletoe.
and in norse myth, odin got killed by a wolf 😄
I like how Kratos goes, "Can you turn into an animal? Wait... Can I turn into an animal?" It's like he just realized he never really even tried it before.
One of the most fantastic adventures to date. An absolutely brilliant story told perfectly.
Kratos is the definition of dad lore
“I don’t feel like a god”
“Often I don’t either”
Kid's reaction is what you would expect it to be, they nailed it
1:30 what u came for!
I love how inocent atreus´s response is
Spoilers:
When I saw Zeus's ghostly face in Hel it gave me many mixed emotions.
BOY YOUR NAME IS BOY!!!!!
Atreus asked if he could turn into an animal or could fly but just imagine if Kratos responded by saying: Your grandfather could.
And thus begins Atreus’ brief descent into arrogance before he’s snapped back into reality.
"Can I turn into an animal?" Aged pretty well
You can see the pain on Kratos face when Atreus said "you think I'm weak because I'm not like you"
Is it just me or does this give you the chills
no you are not alone haha
Next sequel, Loki turns into a wolf. Fenrir 🤔🤔
Sovann T that's his son
darcel francis And so is Jorumungandr, the giant snake. So, Atreus here isn't THAT Loki. On the other hand, "Loki" is a popular name for Giants. Several bear the name. The most notable example outside of "trickster god Loki" is Utgard-Loki.
Alphapkmn The snake ends up time travelling to the past after fighting with Thor during Ragnorak. Its still possible.
But did you guys actually remember that the World Serpent said that Atreus (also now known as Loki) was familiar? And that he (Jörmungandr) was flung back in time. It all makes sense.
Next game Atreus turns into the ox and fuck some bitches.
